  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    OVERVIEW The 2006 South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission's Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual contains the policy governing the billing and payment of hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers for services rendered under the Workers’ Compensation Act. The payment rates listed herein are deemed by the Commission to be fair and reasonable and were developed under the statutory and regulatory authority provided by Title 42 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, as amended, and Chapter 67, Article 13 of the Regulations of the Workers’ Compensation Commission. On June 26, 2006 the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission approved revisions to its hospital inpatient and outpatient payment systems by adopting a prospective payment system for hospital inpatient, outpatient and ambulatory surgery center payments. Effective October 1, 2006, for all inpatient and outpatient services, including procedures performed in ambulatory surgery centers, the maximum allowable payment (MAP) will be calculated at 140% of the Medicare payment, that is, the Medicare payment rate plus 40%. The MAP represents the maximum amount that a provider can legally be paid for rendering services under the Workers’ Compensation Act. In instances where the provider’s usual charge is lower than the MAP amount, or where the provider has agreed by contract with an employer or insurance carrier to accept discounts or lower fees than the Commission’s MAP, payment is made at the lower amount. To facilitate the change to the new pricing systems, the Commission will price any hospital inpatient, outpatient or ambulatory surgery center bill at no charge to insurance carriers, self-insured funds or self-insured employers. Those bills may be sent to the Commission’s Medical Services Division and the bill will be re-priced according to Medicare’s current rate plus forty percent. When there is a dispute between any party concerning the payment for service, the provider or payer may request administrative review by the Commission’s Medical Services Division. The Commission will conduct the review according to its established process for reviewing disputed payments. (See page 8, Disputed Payments, and page 51, Regulation 67-1305, Medical Bill Review.) These changes are based in part on the recommendation of the Commission’s Hospital Advisory Committee. In a continuation of its efforts to assure that workers’ compensation medical fee schedules adequately pay for services provided, ensure access to quality care and contain costs for business and industry, the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission reconvened the Hospital Advisory Committee in November 2004 to advise the Commission on what, if any, changes were necessary to improve the hospital inpatient payment system. The committee also was charged with making recommendations on the establishment of an outpatient fee schedule. The fourteen member Advisory Committee was composed of representatives of the hospital industry, medical association, property and casualty insurance carriers, a self-insured fund, business and industry, and state government.

    The full committee met six times over an eighteen month period to review the current system, review analysis conducted by staff, and to develop recommendations for improving the hospital inpatient and outpatient payment systems. A subcommittee consisting of six members from the full committee was formed in the summer of 2005 to further analyze data, including information provided by one hospital and two insurance companies, and to compare the existing payment system with Medicare. Since 1997 the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission’s hospital inpatient payment system has been based on Medicare’s diagnosis related groups (DRGs), a classification system which sorts inpatient claims into one of over 500 classifications. Each hospital discharge can be assigned to a DRG group based on the diagnoses, procedures performed, complications, co-morbidities, signs, and symptoms and discharge status. A DRG payment system is prospective in nature in that the price is set prior to services being rendered. Payment is based on the diagnosis related group the claim is assigned and determined by the resource needs for the average patient for that diagnosis group. Also included in this determination is length of stay and intensity of services. Patients within a given diagnosis related group will demonstrate similar resource consumption and length of stay patterns. These DRG classifications were developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the Medicare program. The use of DRGs continues with the payment system effective October 1, 2006. Prior to October 1, 2006, services performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital or ambulatory surgery center were not subject to the DRG classification payment methodology. In 1996 when the prior system was established by the Commission, Medicare was considering, but had not yet adopted, a prospective payment system for outpatient services. The 1997 amendments to the Commission’s regulations provided that the Commission would develop a prospective payment system for outpatient hospital services and ambulatory surgery centers. The regulations also provided that until a prospective payment system is operational, the payments for hospital outpatient services and ambulatory surgery centers shall be set by the Commission based on a discount-to-charge basis. While the former inpatient payment system was adequately designed for the financial and market conditions that existed in the early-to-mid 1990s, problems arose over the past five years. Even though DRG payment rates were held steady, costs continued to escalate as a result of charges increasing at such a significant rate that more and more claims fell into a category which received additional payment. Charges have increased at such a rate that both inpatient and outpatient billing no longer reflected actual cost of care. The gulf between costs and charges has widened and discounts to charges have increased with it - in part a result of rules or contracts established by different payment sources: Medicare, Medicaid, health insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, or other contracts entered into by providers and payers. Since 1996, inpatient and outpatient charges have increased 209% and 221% respectively. With inpatient discharges declining, the results over the past five years, on a per claim basis, have been worse. The average inpatient per claim charge has increased 27.5% annually since 2000. The average charge for outpatient claims has increased 16.3% over this same period of time.

    The Commission expects the changes to establish prices that more closely reflect the cost of medical services, and to establish prices that are more competitive with those paid by large group health insurance companies – considering that workers’ compensation provides for a single source of payment with little or no bad debt for compensable claims. Hospital Inpatient Payment System The Medicare Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) was introduced by the federal government in October, 1983, to encourage more cost-efficient management of medical care and the Commission established a DRG payment system in 1997. A DRG payment system is prospective in nature in that the price is set prior to the services being rendered. Patients within a given diagnosis related group will demonstrate similar resource consumption and length of stay patterns. Each hospital discharge can be assigned a DRG based on the diagnoses, procedures performed, complications, co-morbidities (pre-existing conditions), signs and symptoms and discharge status. Also included in this determination is length of stay and intensity of services. Currently, there are 526 DRGs for which a hospital is paid a flat rate for the DRG except for cases that are unusually costly, called outliers. Costs incurred by the hospital for a case are evaluated to determine whether it is eligible for additional payments as an outlier case. These additional payments protect the hospital from large financial losses due to unusually costly cases. Specialty hospitals and units such as psychiatric and rehabilitation are excluded from the prospective payment system because the diagnosis related groups do not accurately account for the resource costs for the types of patients treated on an inpatient basis. Payments are based on a federal per diem base rate since there are wide variations in charges and lengths of stay. The facilities are paid on the basis of Medicare reasonable costs per case, limited by a hospital specific target amount per discharge. Outpatient Payment System In 1997, Medicare was considering adopting an Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) for outpatient services and the system was implemented in 2000. The 1997 amendments to the Commission’s regulations provided that the Commission would develop a prospective payment system for outpatient hospital services and services rendered by ambulatory surgery centers (Regulation 67-1304). Medicare’s Hospital Outpatient Payment System (HOPPS) reimburses outpatient services performed at a hospital by utilizing the Ambulatory Patient Classifications. APCs are similar to DRGs in that it is a prospective payment system which pays hospitals specific predetermined payment rates for outpatient services by using a classification system that groups claims which are similar in nature, have similar clinical characteristics and are similar in the kind and amount of resources that will be necessary, on average, to treat the case. APCs require that all outpatient bills use the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) including Current Procedural Terminology Codes (CPT). Each APC is assigned a relative payment weight based on the median cost of the services within the APC. Using an individual

    3

  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    hospital’s wage index, rates are adjusted across geographic areas for wage differences and the labor-related portion of the payment rate. A hospital may furnish a number of services to a beneficiary on the same day and receive an APC payment for each service; however, multiple surgical procedures performed on the same day are discounted. The Advisory Committee reviewed outpatient payment methods currently being used by other states for workers’ compensation programs. Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) operate exclusively for the purpose of furnishing outpatient surgical services to patients. An ASC is either independent (not a part of a provider of services or any other facility), or operated by a hospital (under common ownership, licensure or control of a hospital). Services performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital or an ambulatory surgery center is not subject to the DRG classification payment methodology. Under the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) payment system, the payment rate is established on the basis of an estimate that takes into account the facility costs to perform a specific procedure. The overhead factor is calculated on a prospective basis which takes into account the volume for each listed procedure. Procedures on the approved ASC list currently are assigned to one of fifty-six payment groups. Medicare establishes a list of approved procedures that are commonly performed in an inpatient setting but can be safely performed in an outpatient setting.

    GENERAL POLICY Effective Date The policies and payments listed in this manual are effective as of October 1, 2006. Any claim for services rendered on or after October 1, 2006 is subject to the payment methodologies described herein. For the purpose of determining payment, the date of service for an inpatient hospital stay is the date of admission. Authorization to Treat Health care providers must receive authorization from the employer or insurance carrier prior to providing treatment, except for emergency care when the carrier cannot be reached. When an employer authorizes treatment, whether verbally or in writing, the employer assumes liability for payment for that service, even if it is later determined the injury was not work-related. Whenever possible, providers should obtain written authorization from the employer. Providers may request the employer to fax a written authorization at the time authorization is given. If it is not possible to obtain written authorization, the provider should document the authorization by noting the date and time of the authorization and the name of the individual who authorized treatment. Verifying that the employer has workers' compensation insurance coverage is not authorization to treat. Medical Services Rendered in Another State The payment rates listed in this manual are not applicable to medical services rendered outside the state of South Carolina even when the services are provided under the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Act. Insurers and self-insurers should negotiate rates with out-of-state providers prior to authorizing care. Out-of-State Injuries or Work-Related Illnesses Treated in South Carolina It is possible that an individual may receive medical services in South Carolina for injuries incurred in an accident under the jurisdiction of another state's workers' compensation act. In this case, the policy and procedures listed herein would not apply. However, when a worker receives medical services in South Carolina pursuant to the South Carolina Act, the payment is subject to the policy listed in this document regardless of where the injury occurred. Providers may contact the payer to determine whether benefits are being provided pursuant to South Carolina law or the laws of another state.

    Submitting Claims for Payment Insurance companies, self-insurance funds, or self-insured employers providing workers' compensation coverage are directly responsible for issuing payments to authorized providers. Providers should submit claims to the employer or insurance carrier for payment. (The Commission does not pay health care providers.) A provider who is unsure who the insurance carrier is may contact either the employer, the Commission's Coverage Division (803.737.5704), or verify the employer’s insurance company’s name and address via the Commission’s web site at www.wcc.sc.gov/Insurance/Verify+Coverage/. Collecting Payment To determine the status of an unpaid claim, please contact the employer or insurance carrier. "Balance Billing" and Collection Procedures Against the Claimant Medical providers are to be paid for authorized services at rates no higher than those specified in this document. If a provider's charge is greater than the amount approved by the Commission, the provider must not bill the patient or the employer for the difference. It is unlawful for a medical provider to actively pursue collection procedures against a workers’ compensation claimant prior to the final adjudication of the claimant’s claim. A medical provider who violates this regulation after receiving written notice from the claimant or the claimant’s attorney is guilty of a misdemeanor and may be fined up to $500, payable to the claimant. (See page 48, §42-9-360.) Copies of Records and Reports Providers must submit copies of records and reports to insurance carriers, claimants or their attorney, or the Commission, upon request. Providers may not charge for supplying documents when such documents are requested by the Commission or when supplying an initial copy to the reviewer/payer for the purpose of substantiating charges and/or medical necessity. (See page 51, §42-15-95, and page 53, Regulations 67-1301 and 67-1303). In those instances where a charge is allowed, the maximum charge for providing records and reports is $15 clerical fee plus 65¢ per page for the first thirty pages, and 50¢ per page for each page over thirty, plus sales tax and actual cost for postage to mail the documents. Providers who use a medical records company to make and provide copies of medical records must ensure that neither the Commission nor the reviewer is billed for the cost of copies when the purpose of the copies is to substantiate charges and/or medical necessity.

    Providers do not need authorization from the injured worker to release to the employee, employer, insurance carrier, their attorneys, or to the Commission, medical records relating to a workers’ compensation injury or illness. (See page 49, §42-15-95.) Claims Review All claims for payment of medical services rendered under the Workers' Compensation Act must be reviewed prior to payment to ensure that the services rendered were reported accurately on the claim form and that payment is made according to the policies and payments outlined in this document. The Commission requires insurance carriers, self-insured employers and third party administrators to become approved by the Commission to conduct claims review. Parties interested in becoming approved reviewers should contact the Medical Services Division. A provider who has a question regarding a payment or reduction should write or call the party that reviewed the claim prior to contacting the Commission. If the matter cannot be resolved by contacting the reviewer, submit the claim and any documentation to the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission Medical Services Division for review. (See page 8, Disputed Payments.) Timeliness Payment to authorized medical providers are to be made within thirty (30) days of the request for payment, pursuant to §42-9-360. Exceptions to the thirty day requirement may be made when the bill has been submitted to the Commission for review, or when documentation necessary to the bill review was not submitted with the claim and must be requested from the provider. In cases where documentation must be requested from the provider, payment must be made within 30 days of receipt of the requested information. Explanation of Review (EOR) The Commission and entities approved by the Commission may review and reduce provider charges to coincide with the guidelines and payment rates described in this document. When issuing payment to a provider, the reviewer/payer must include an Explanation of Review (EOR). The EOR must explain why the charge(s) has been reduced or disallowed. If the reviewer/payer uses codes to explain the adjustment, it must furnish the provider with a written explanation of each code used. The EOR must also include appropriate identifying information so the provider can relate a specific payment to the applicable claimant, the procedure billed and the date of service. All EORs must include a notice informing providers of their right to request an administrative review by the Commission's Medical Services Division in case of a disputed payment that cannot

    7

  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    be resolved by contacting the reviewer/payer. Disputed Payments When a provider disagrees with a review and payment for any service, the provider may make a written request for reconsideration to the reviewer/payer within 60 days from receipt of the EOR. The request must include a copy of the claim in question, the EOR and any supporting documentation to substantiate the charge/service in question. A dispute must be based on extenuating circumstances involved in the case or the provider’s belief that the review was not in accordance with Commission policy. Upon receipt of a request for reconsideration, the reviewer/payer must review and re-evaluate the original bill and accompanying documentation, using a medical consultant if necessary, and respond to the provider within 30 days of the date of receipt. The payer's response to the provider must explain the reason(s) behind the decision and cite the specific policy upon which the final adjustment was made. If the provider finds the result of the reviewer/payer's reconsideration unsatisfactory, that provider may then request an administrative review by the Commission’s Medical Services Division. Providers may send a written request for resolution of a disputed payment to the Division within 60 days of the payer's reconsideration, or 90 days from the date of the original request for reconsideration when the payer has not responded. A request for resolution of a disputed payment must include the following: 1) Copies of the original and resubmitted bills; 2) Copies of the Explanation of Payment; 3) Copies of any supporting documentation to include

    physician’s medical notes and/or operative reports. 4) Copies of correspondence and/or specific

    information regarding contact with the payer. The Medical Services Division will review the information, make a determination and provide written notification of its decision to both the provider and the payer within 30 days of receipt. Send requests to resolve a dispute to: Medical Services Division South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission Post Office Box 1715 Columbia, SC 29202-1715

    INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEMS

    A prospective payment system (PPS) is a method of reimbursement in which payment is made based on a predetermined, fixed amount. The payment amount for a particular service is derived based on the classification system of that service. (For example, DRGs for inpatient hospital services) CMS uses separate PPSs for reimbursement to acute inpatient hospitals, home health agencies, hospice, hospital outpatient, inpatient psychiatric facilities, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, long-term care hospitals, and skilled nursing. The South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission’s DRG and APC Grouping software program will be updated quarterly as Medicare updates payment policies and prices. The ASC payment groups will be updated as needed to reflect any additions or deletions. The Medical Services Division will assist insurance carriers, self-insured funds, and self-insured employers in pricing hospital inpatient and outpatient and ambulatory surgery center claims free of charge. Claims submissions must be directly mailed to the Medical Services Division to ensure legibility. Claims and supporting documentation to include hospital and/or physician’s notes and operative notes may be mailed to the address listed below.

    INPATIENT PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM (IPPS) The IPPS is a system of payment for acute hospital inpatient stays under Medicare Part A based on prospectively set rates. The specific payment amount is based on the diagnosis related group (DRG) assigned to the claim based on clinical information. The payment amount for each DRG is intended to cover the necessary costs of the average patient assigned to that DRG. The amounts paid to hospitals are adjusted depending on whether the hospital is in a large urban area or in another area, whether it is a teaching hospital, and whether it serves a disproportionate share of indigent patients. The payment amount also is adjusted to account for the different labor costs and market conditions in different areas. Hospitals also may receive an additional payment called an “outlier payment” for exceptionally costly cases. The base payment rate is comprised of a standardized amount, which is divided into labor-related and non-labor share. The labor-related share is adjusted by the wage index applicable to the area where the hospital is located. The DRG payment is the base amount multiplied by the DRG “relative weight”. Relative Weight Each DRG is assigned a “relative weight”, which reflects the average relative costs of cases in the DRG compared to that for the average Medicare case. These weights are adjusted each year and are used to set payment rates. Wage Index As part of the methodology for determining prospective payments to hospitals, standardized amounts are adjusted "for area differences in hospital wage levels by a factor reflecting the relative hospital wage level in the geographic area of the hospital compared to the national average hospital wage level." This adjustment factor is the wage index. The wage index adjustment factor is applied only to the labor portion of the standardized amounts and is updated annually. Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) A DSH can receive an additional percentage add-on payment if the hospital is recognized as serving a disproportionate share of low-income patients.

    Indirect Cost of Medical Education (IME) Prospective payment hospitals that have residents in an approved graduate medical education (GME) program receive an additional payment to reflect the higher patient care costs of teaching hospitals relative to non-teaching hospitals. This additional payment is known as the IME adjustment. Outlier Payment An additional payment is provided in addition to the DRG adjusted base payment rate for cases incurring extraordinarily high costs. These payments are called outlier payments. The costs incurred by the hospital for the case are evaluated to determine whether it is eligible for additional payments as an outlier case. This additional payment is designed to protect the hospital from large financial losses due to unusually expensive cases. To qualify for outlier payments, a case must have costs above a fixed-loss cost threshold amount (a dollar amount by which the costs of a case must exceed payments in order to qualify for outliers). Hospital-specific cost-to-charge ratios are applied to the covered charges for a case to determine whether the costs of the case exceed the fixed-loss outlier threshold. Payments for eligible cases are then made based on a marginal cost factor, which is a percentage of the costs above the threshold. CMS publishes the outlier threshold in the annual Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule. The actual determination of whether a case qualifies for outlier payments takes into account operating and capital costs and DRG payments. Thus, the combined operating and capital costs of a case must exceed the fixed loss outlier threshold to qualify for an outlier payment. The operating and capital costs are computed separately by multiplying the total covered charges by the operating and capital cost-to-charge ratios. The estimated operating and capital costs are compared with the fixed-loss threshold after dividing that threshold into an operating portion and a capital portion (by first summing the operating and capital ratios and then determining the proportion of that total comprised by the operating and capital ratios and applying these percentages to the fixed-loss threshold). The thresholds are also adjusted by the area wage index (and capital geographic adjustment factor) before being compared to the operating and capital costs of the case. Finally, the outlier payment is based on a marginal cost factor equal to 80 percent of the combined operating and capital costs in excess of the fixed-loss threshold (90 percent for burn DRGs). Cost-to-charge ratios Hospital-specific cost-to-charge ratios are applied to the covered charges for a case to determine whether the costs of the case exceed the fixed-loss outlier threshold. CMS publishes a detailed list of cost-to-charge ratios by provider and by Federal Fiscal Year in the Impact File.

    Assigning a DRG Classification The DRG classifications are those developed by CMS for the Medicare program. All claims for inpatient hospital services must be assigned a DRG classification based in general on the diagnoses, procedures performed, complications, co-morbidities, signs, symptoms, length of stay and discharge status. Determining Payment Elements of the IPPS Payment

    • The standardized amounts, which are the basic payment amounts. • A wage index to account for differences in hospital labor costs. • The DRG relative weights, which account for differences in the mix of patients treated

    across hospitals. • An add-on payment for hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low-income

    patients (DSH). • An add-on payment for hospitals that incur indirect cost of medical education (IME). • Outlier payment, determine if the case qualifies for additional payment.

    Hospital Specific DRG Payment = PPS Operating Payment + PPS Capital Payment Calculations: PPS Operating Payment:

    DRG Relative Weight x [(Standardized Labor Share x Operating Wage Index) + (Standardized Non-Labor Share)] x (1 + Operating IME + Operating DSH Adjustment Factor)

    PPS Capital Payment: DRG Relative Weight x (Standard Federal Rate) x (GAF) x (Large Urban Add-on, if applicable) x (1 + DSH Adjustment Factor + IME Adjustment Factor)

    supplies hospital specific information such as the wage indices, DSH, and IME. • DRG Relative Weights File

    3. Search the Federal Register Final Rule for the following tables:

    • National Adjusted Operating Standardized Amounts, Labor/Non-labor • Capital Standard Federal Payment Rate • Wage Index and Capital Geographic Adjustment Factor (GAF) for Urban Areas • Wage Index and Capital Geographic Adjustment Factor (GAF) for Rural Areas • Wage Index and Capital Geographic Factor (GAF) for hospitals that are

    reclassified (this table is used when the hospital is identified as reclassified; see variable “reclassification status” in PPS Impact File)

    4. Calculate the PPS Hospital Specific DRG Price. The calculation is broken down into two separate calculations:

    1) PPS Operating Payment, and 2) PPS Capital Payment.

Rather, they are paid under the Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Prospective Payment System (IPF PPS) using a base rate with the possibility of various adjustments. Each DRG has a calculated adjustment factor specific to the diagnoses of which it is comprised. The IPF PPS uses the existing inpatient hospital DRG system to group inpatient psychiatric patients into one of the 15 allowed psychiatric DRG groups but does not use the inpatient PPS payment amount. The IPF PPS has its own set of payment adjustment factors for each of the DRG codes allowed. The DRG payment adjustment amounts are applied to the Federal per diem rate along with any other applicable payment adjustments to compute the final per diem amount for each inpatient psychiatric stay. A Federal per diem base rate is set for each fiscal year which is broken into labor-share and non-labor-share. The Federal per diem base rate provides patient-level and facility-level adjustments. Additional payments are provided for cost outlier cases. The Inpatient Psychiatric Facility PPS PC PRICER makes all reimbursement calculations applicable under the IPF PPS including all payment adjustments. The IPF PPS PC Pricer can be downloaded from the CMS website at www.cms.hhs.gov/PCPricer/. Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Inpatient Rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) include free standing rehabilitation hospitals and rehabilitation units in acute care hospitals. They provide an intensive rehabilitation program. IRFs are also exempt from the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) and are paid under the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Prospective Payment System (IRF PPS). The IRF PPS utilizes information from a patient assessment instrument (IRF PAI) to classify patients into distinct groups based on clinical characteristics and expected resource needs. Separate payments are calculated for each group, including the application of case and facility level adjustments. The IRF PPS PC Pricer can be downloaded from the CMS website www.cms.hhs.gov/PCPricer/.

    Payment The Maximum Allowable Payment (MAP) will be calculated at 140% of the Medicare payment. The MAP represents the maximum amount that a provider can legally be paid for rendering services under the Workers’ Compensation Act. In instances where the provider’s usual charge is lower than the MAP amount, or where the provider has agreed by contract with an employer or insurance carrier to accept discounts or lower fees than the Commission’s MAP, payment is made at the lower amount.

  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    OUTPATIENT PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM (OPPS) Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs) Hospitals are paid specific predetermined payment rates for services that are calculated based on grouping outpatient services into ambulatory payment classifications (APCs). Services within an APC are similar clinically and require comparable resources. Each APC is assigned a relative payment rate based on the median cost of the services within that classification. The payment rates are initially determined on a national basis; however, the rates actually paid to hospitals in an area will vary, depending on the area’s wage level. To adjust for wage differences across geographic areas, the labor-related portion of the payment rate (60 percent) is wage adjusted, using the individual hospital’s wage index. (See CMS web site http://www.cms.hhs.gov/HospitalOutpatientPPS/HORD/list.asp.) Some incidental items and services will be packaged into the APC payment. No separate payment is made for packaged services because the cost of these items is included in the APC payment for the service of which they are a primary part. Supplies, anesthesia, recovery room and certain drugs are considered to be a primary part of a surgical procedure and payment for these items is packaged into the APC payment. (See Payment Policies) Implantable orthotic and prosthetic devices and implantable DME are paid under the OPPS when billed with the appropriate HCPCS and revenue codes. Payment for non-implantable orthotic and prosthetic devices furnished by an OPPS hospital is made under Medicare’s Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetic Orthotic, and Supply (DMEPOS) fee schedule when billed with the appropriate HCPCS and revenue code. Non-implantable DME furnished by an OPPS hospital should be billed on the CMS-1500 Form. Payment will be made under the DMEPOS fee schedule. Depending on the services provided, a hospital may be paid for more than one APC for an encounter; however, multiple surgical procedures performed on the same day will be discounted. Full payment may be made for the highest paid procedure and 50 percent will be paid for each additional surgical procedure. APC groups, relative payment rates, wage adjustments, outlier payments are reviewed by CMS on an annual basis. The annual updates are made final through the publication of proposed and final rules in the Federal Register. (See http://www.cms.hhs.gov/providers/hopps/) The Outpatient Code Editor (OCE) will be used to determine permissible consolidation in order to identify mutually exclusive procedures and comprehensive and component procedure code combinations that are reimbursable for the same operative session when rendered by the same provider on the same date of service.

    Billing Procedures Hospital outpatient services are billed on Form CMS-1450 (UB-92). HCPCS Codes HCPCS codes are entered in field # 44 and are required for all outpatient hospital services unless specifically excepted in CMS’s manual instructions. Codes are required for surgery, radiology, other diagnostic procedures, clinical diagnostic laboratory, durable medical equipment, orthotic-prosthetic devices, take-home surgical dressings, therapies, preventative services, blood and blood products and most drugs. Revenue Codes Hospitals are to report the HCPCS codes under the revenue center where they were performed. Revenue Codes are entered in field 42. The following revenue codes when billed without HCPCS codes are packaged services for which no separate payment is made; however, the cost of these services is included in the transitional outpatient payment and outlier calculations. 0250, 0251, 0252, 0254, 0255, 0257, 0258, 0259, 0260, 0262, 0263, 0264, 0269, 0270, 0271, 0272, 0275, 0276, 0278,0279, 0280, 0289, 0370, 0371, 0372, 0379, 0390, 0399, 0560, 0569, 0621, 0622, 0624, 0630, 0631, 0632, 0633, 0637, 0681, 0682, 0683, 0684, 0689, 0700, 0709, 0710, 0710, 0719, 0720, 0721, 0762, 0810, 0819, and 0942. Modifiers Modifiers are a 2-digit code that are reported next to the CPT code to indicate a service or procedure has been performed or altered by a specific set of circumstances that do not change the definition of the code. There is a space for two modifiers, one in field 6 and one in field 7. When it is appropriate to use a modifier, the most specific modifier should be used first. Line Item Date of Services A line item date of service must be entered in field 45 for each HCPCS code reported. Description of Service Provided A description of the service provided should be entered in field 43.

    18

  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    Reporting Service Units Service units must be reported to determine the number of times the service or procedure being reported was performed. Service units are entered in field 46. Charges Total charges for each service reported are entered in field 47. Payment The Maximum Allowable Payment (MAP) for services under the OPPS will be calculated at 140% of the Medicare payment. The MAP represents the maximum amount that a provider can legally be paid for rendering services under the Workers’ Compensation Act. In instances where the provider’s usual charge is lower than the MAP amount, or where the provider has agreed by contract with an employer or insurance carrier to accept discounts or lower fees than the Commission’s MAP, payment is made at the lower amount. National Correct Hospital Outpatient PPS NCCI Coding Initiatives Edits The CCI edits are part of the Outpatient Code Editor that determines payment for OPPS Services. Column 1/Column 2 Correct Coding Edits (formerly Comprehensive/Component) apply to code combinations where one of the codes is a component of a more comprehensive code. Payment is allowed only for the comprehensive code. Mutually exclusive codes are those codes that cannot reasonably be done in the same session. CPT codes that are mutually exclusive of one another based either on the CPT definition or the medical impossibility/improbability that the procedures could be performed at the same session can be identified as code pairs. Code pairs should not be reported together. New HCPCS codes have been introduced to describe hospital emergency visits provided in part-time dedicated emergency departments that are not open 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The G-codes will be paid as hospital clinic visits. Critical care services now include the activation of a trauma response team. In addition to reporting CPT codes 99291 and 99292, providers must report G0390.

    Payment Status Indicators CMS has identified payment status indicators that determine if a service is paid under the OPPS or a different fee schedule, or if the service is not paid due to packaging rules. Status Indicator A: Services furnished that are paid under a fee schedule or payment system other than OPPS include:

    • Ambulance services • Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Services • Non-Implantable Prosthetic and Orthotic Devices • Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy • Routine Dialysis Services Provided in a Certified Dialysis Unit of a Hospital • Diagnostic and Screening Mammography

    Status Indicator B: May be paid when submitted on a different bill type but are not paid under OPPS. These codes are not recognized by OPPS. An alternative code may be available. Status Indicator C: Inpatient Procedures not paid under OPPS Status Indicator D: Discontinued Codes not paid under OPPS Status Indicator E: Items, Codes, and Services that are not covered but for which an alternate code for the same item or service may be available. Status Indicator F: Corneal Tissue Acquisition and certain CRNA Services and Hepatitis B Vaccines: Not paid under OPPS. Status Indicator G: Pass Through Drugs and Biologicals: Paid under OPPS; Separate APC Payment includes pass-through amount. Status Indicator H: Pass-Through Categories: Separate cost-based pass-through payment. Status Indicator K: Non-Pass-Through Drugs, Biologicals, and Radiopharmaceutical Agents, Brachytherapy Sources, and Blood and Blood Products: Paid under OPPS; Separate APC Payment. Status Indicator L: Influenza Vaccine, Pneumococcal Pneumonia Vaccine: Not paid under OPPS. Status Indicator M: Items and Services Not Billable; Not paid under OPPS. Status Indicator N: Items and Services Packaged into APC Rates: Paid under OPPS; Payment is packaged into payment for other services, including outliers. There is no separate APC payment.

    20

  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    Status Indicator P: Partial Hospitalization: Paid under OPPS; Per diem APC payment. Status Indicator Q: Packaged Services Subject to Separate Payment Under OPPS Payment Criteria: Paid under OPPS. Separate APC payment based on OPPS payment criteria. If criteria are not met, payment is packaged into payment for other services, including outliers. There is no separate APC payment. Status Indicator S: Significant Procedure, Not Discounted when Multiple: Paid under OPPS; Separate APC Payment. Status Indicator T: Significant Procedure, Multiple Reduction Applies: Paid under OPPS; Separate APC payment. Status Indicator V: Clinic or Emergency Department Visit: Paid under OPPS; Separate APC payment. Status Indicator Y: Non-Implantable Durable Medical Equipment: Not paid under OPPS; All institutional providers other than home health agencies bill to DMERC. Status Indicator X: Ancillary Services: Paid under OPPS; Separate APC payment. Outlier Payments Outlier payments are automatically calculated based on each individual OPPS line item service and are intended to partially compensate hospitals for certain high cost services. To be eligible for an outlier payment, the estimated costs for a service must be greater than 1.75 times the payment amount for the APC and greater than the APC payment amount and the outlier threshold. The outlier threshold for 2007 is $1,825.00. The outlier payment is 50% of estimated cost less 1.75 times the APC payment amount. Process and information required to apply for assignment and payment for new technology APCs can be accessed at http://cms.hhs.gov/regulations/hopps/finalnewtechapc11602,pdf. Process and information required to apply for transitional pass-through payment for additional device categories can be accessed at http://cms.hhs.gov/regulations/hopps/newcatapp11602final1.pdf. CMS updates the OPPS on a quarterly basis to account for changes such as adding new pass-through drugs and/or devices, adding new treatments and procedures to the new technology APCs, removing procedures from the inpatient list, and recognizing new HCPCS codes that may be added during the year. These updates can be accessed at http://www.cms.gov/manuals/cmsindex.asp.

  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTERS Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) furnish outpatient surgical services for procedures that are on Medicare’s list of ASC approved procedures. The ASC payment rate is a standard overhead amount established on the basis of an estimate of a fee that takes into account the costs incurred by ASC’s in providing facility services in connection with performing a specific procedure. The overhead factor takes into account the volume for each listed procedure. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes a list of procedures for which an ASC may be paid each year, including periodic updates of ASC HCPCS additions, deletions, and master listing files. This includes applicable codes, payment groups, and payment amounts for each ASC group. The ASC payment rate includes only the specific ASC services. Some medical services which are not on the list, such as physician services, anesthetist services, prosthetic devices, and DME may be covered and separately billable by the rendering provider for which payment may be made under other provisions. Approved Procedures To access the complete list of ASC approved HCPCS codes and payment rates, please visit the CMS website at www.cms.hhs.gov/ASCPayment. These files contain the procedure codes which may be performed in an ASC under the Medicare program as well as the ASC payment group assigned to each of the procedure codes. The ASC payment group determines the amount that is paid for facility services furnished in connection with a covered procedure. An ASC may not bill for procedures that require more than an ASC level of care or minor procedures that are normally performed in a physician’s office. Only those procedures which are on Medicare’s approved ASC HCPCS list will be reimbursed. ASC Facility Services The ASC payment rate includes all facility services furnished by the ASC in connection with a covered procedure and may not be billed separately. Examples of ASC facility services include:

    • Nursing services, services of technical personnel, and other related services; • The use by the patient of the ASC facilities; • Drugs, biologicals, surgical dressings, supplies, splints, casts, appliances, and equipment; • Diagnostic or therapeutic items and services; • Administrative, recordkeeping, and housekeeping items and services; • Blood, blood plasma, platelets, etc., except for those to which the blood deductible

  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    applies; • Materials for anesthesia; and • Intraocular lenses (IOLs) except for new technology IOLs (NTIOLs) (refer to 42 CFR 416.180-200 ).

    Services Furnished in ASCs Which Are Not ASC Facility Services Some medical services and a number of items may be furnished in an ASC which are not considered facility services and which the ASC payment does not include. The non-ASC services are covered and paid for under the applicable SCWCC fee schedule. Examples of non-ASC facility services include:

    • Physician services; • The purchase or rental of non-implantable durable medical equipment (DME) to ASC patients for use in their homes; • Non-implantable prosthetic devices; • Implantable prosthetic devices except intraocular lenses (IOLs and NTIOLs), and accessories; • Leg, arm, back and neck braces; • Artificial legs, arms and eyes; and • Services furnished by a certified laboratory.

    Multiple Procedures More than one surgical procedure may be performed in the same operative session. Special rules apply to this situation. When two or more procedures are performed, the ASC will be reimbursed at the full rate for the procedure classified in the highest payment group. Any other procedures performed during the same session are reimbursed at 50% of the procedure’s applicable group rate. If more than one procedure in the same payment group is performed, one procedure will be paid at the full payment rate and the remaining procedure(s) at 50 % of the payment rate. Correct Coding The Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) will be utilized in order to determine the appropriate billing of CPT and HCPCS codes. In general, if an ASC bills a CPT/HCPCS code that is considered to be a component part of a more comprehensive service for the same patient on the same date of service, only the more comprehensive code is covered, provided that code in on the list of ASC approved codes.

    23

  • Hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Center Payment Manual

    Billing Procedures HCPCS/CPT Codes are billed on the HCFA Form 1500 and are assigned to one of the fifty-six payment groups. Payment The Maximum Allowable Payment (MAP) will be calculated at 140% of the Medicare payment. (See pages 24-45 for the 2007 MAPs for each HCPCS/CPT code. The MAP represents the maximum amount that a provider can legally be paid for rendering services under the Workers’ Compensation Act. In instances where the provider’s usual charge is lower than the MAP amount, or where the provider has agreed by contract with an employer or insurance carrier to accept discounts or lower fees than the Commission’s MAP, payment is made at the lower amount.
